I am surprised to hear washing machines contain heaters! I prefer hot
water (125 degrees) for white loads and that's the output of our
45-gallon gas water heater. Many folks prefer to use cold water to
wash clothes, but hot water kills germs faster and seems to get white
clothes cleaner. Soaps specially formulated for cold water washing
are found in most stores. You can get an extra "boost" by soaking
clothes in cold water for a few hours before washing in cold water.
Most automatic dishwashers in the USA contain heater units.

Dear Phish, I hope senility isn't setting in, or maybe you should be taking
more water with it. Don't you recall we have had this very same discussion
many moons ago and you said the very same thing?

Dear Mrs Bonk, Coming from you, I'd have to say that's a compliment.
